Just found out I was awarded an Artist-in-Residence gig at the Petrified Forest National Park in AZ and need to pick some dates. I love storms and storm clouds.......August?

I had to jump on this or lose my preferential status. So I chose late August for two weeks. cross my fingers......

This site gives weather patterns throughout the year. The precipitation and temperature record, and what I remember from going there years ago, suggest that August would probably be the best month. It's wet yet still hot so a lot of those storms should be thunderstorms.

Yep, August is the monsoon season, but monsoons are always kinda iffy. The Petrified Forest isn't too far from Albuquerque, so you probably have a fairly good idea about the weather patterns already. Congratulations on the artist-in-residence!

Looking for the green with envy icon...
...and based on my time in Las Cruces (farther away of course), you could have picked March for monumental DUST clouds!
Thanks all!

When I was a kid here weather was pretty predictable-not anymore. "Iffy" is an understatement-I'd get better odds in VegasOriginally Posted by Mark Sawyer

That's what I'd choose, for the incorrectly monikered southwest "monsoon" season, not being true mesoscale monsoon dynamics. But then I have no standing being only a degreed meteorologist who will only shoot landscape sky with clouds - and I'd still keep my fingers crossed what with changing global atmospheric dynamics.
